ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 364 Part 1

ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 364: This Hero May Be A Puppet, But At Least He’s The Star of the Show Part 1

「Alright, we can already see the frontline base right in front of us, but let us take a moment here to stop and revise our original strategy.」

「Original strategy……? Oh, yeah! I remember now! Something about escorting the King and the Princess back to safety, right? Yup, yup, I remember now!」

Oh, yeah…… I totally forgot about that. The fact that this guy can actually be quite a headache when it comes to things like that. Could it be that……?

「Tottori, could it be that you are actually a birdbrain? Or maybe a complete and utter airhead? And don’t laugh at him like that, Deepslaughter! He may be a bird head, but he’s a much better case than you are!」

「…… Hahaha… haha… ha……」

And here I thought it would be extremely hard for me to bring Deepslaughter down a few pegs. But won’t you just look at that? What is that smile just now? It reminds me of a housewife who is the victim of domestic violence but she still has to depend on her abusive husband, hence she tries to justifies his abusive behaviors and find her own faults in them. This won’t end well. At least there will be charges for assault, you know?

「While we are being on the subject of heads, recently you have acquired quite a number of them, right, Sanraku-san?」

Speaking of which, while we were at Firstia I managed to obtain one more piece of starting equipment: a horse head mask. It looked absolutely hilarious but its stats were just the worst. Maybe I should go back to Firstia after a while and see if there is some new merchandise in store there?

However, that one particular item was making me feel uneasy and my body was reflexively trying to reject it. It was a similar feeling to the regret that one feels when something bad happened because you did not used an item or an opportunity that was given to you at the very beginning of something, and now you were having to suffer the consequences of it.

「Leaving the topic of heads aside, please remember the situation we are currently in…… You two. You are currently on the run from the Third Knight and his entourage, who are the lackeys of the new king, the tyrant……And once you get caught, you are sure to be executed on the spot.」

And the greatest chance for the assassination attempt that they had was inside of that forest, if only a certain someone and a certain tri-headed monster did not come onto the stage and burned it all to the ground. However, if the knights survived the encounter, they only had two options here: either wait for the King and the Princess to die to the monsters in the forest, or to lie in wait for them somewhere and jump at them once they try to emerge from the wilds.

「Initially, I was planning to merge the two of them with the People of the Forest, enter the front line base here and after that deliver them to the Brach Office of the Church of the Three Gods that was just established here. That would have been our end goal. …… However, right now I think that the more direct, but also more thorough approach would be better to do here.」

「Good, good…… This starts to sound really exciting and like much fun! …… So, what’s the plan? What do we do?」

「Tottori. You are going to be the key factor here. Or the main lead, I suppose.」

「Who!? Me!?」

「Yes. And truth to be told…… This is something that only you can hope to accomplish.」

If I were to give this operation a name here it would be something like…… Let’s see…… “The Brave Hero’s Infiltration Mission!”

……………

………

「Ahh, ahh…… Ekhem, Hear ye, hear ye, everyone present! His Majesty, King Toravante and Her Royal Highness, Princess Afilia has returned! Make way! Make way!」

It was at this moment that those loud and cheerful words have cut through the tranquil air that was surrounding the frontline base.

As you might have expected, no matter the time of day, there were always players who would be active in the game, and this here frontline base was not an exception from that rule. However, since right now it was the turning point between night and morning, the number of players was visibly lower than during the other parts of the day. Amongst those players, there was one particular Pioneer who was the source of this cheerful voice. Right behind him, there were two NPCs. Still…… kinda mysterious that there are players who log in at this kind of hour, huh? Really makes you wonder.

Under any normal circumstances this here little performance would have been most probably taken for a random event. It surely would have been eye-catching, but it would only be that. People would quickly come to forget about it. But there was one hug game changer here: the raid boss battle subjugation report that was recently announced, one that was sure to bring the tension here up another notch. People would think that maybe, it is an event that was caused by that earlier announcement. Which brings us to the current conclusion: that everyone present here was looking at the happy procession as it was moving forward.

「–––– Let it be known that above all else, His Majesty the King and Her Royal Highness the Princess are safe and unharmed!」

It was also at that time that the expected thing happened. A large group of knights appeared right in front of Magic Caster-looking woman and the two NPCs, seemingly out of nowhere. It could also be seen by the looks on the faces of the gathered players that no one had any idea where they have come from. It was as if they have materialized seemingly out of thin air. Also, one glance at the knights was more than enough proof to confirm that they were all NPCs, there was not even a single player with them.

「My oh my, if it is not the…… What was your name again? Unequaled sword, or something like that?」

「It is “Sword of Desperation”.」

「Well, if it is not Julian, the Unequaled Sword?」

For some mysterious reason, the forehead of the Third Knight got full of wrinkles and bulging veins started to pop up all over his temples. I don’t think that this is what he is famous for, but the sight was quite spectacular indeed. But getting right on track, Julian approached the Magician Woman and the Royal NPCs, his face dark and visibly filled with nasty emotions. On the other hand, the Magician Woman was keeping a smile at her face at all times, one that seemed as if it was plastered onto her lips.

「State us your name, if you will. Bringing His Majesty back here is quite the achievement. I’m going to make sure that the crown shall reward you later for your achievements.」
